TECHNOPRENEURSHIP Global Problem

The term technopreneurship is a fusion of two words, technology,

and entrepreneurship. It is a kind of entrepreneurship in the field
of technology. It involves tech-savvy, creative, innovative individuals
who have a knack for taking a calculated risk, unlike
entrepreneurship, which can sometimes be a one-person show.
A technopreneur is a person who revolutionizes the prevailing

economic order by making the best use of the technology at hand.
Technology and the Global Problem
Entrepreneur Solvers
Goods and services are produced using the factors of production available
to the economy. Two things play a crucial role in putting these factors of
production to work. The first is technology, the knowledge that can be
applied to the production of goods and services. The second is an
individual who plays a key role in a market economy: the entrepreneur.
An entrepreneur is a person who, operating within the context of a
market economy, seeks to earn profits by finding new ways to organize
factors of production. In non-market economies the role of the
entrepreneur is played by bureaucrats and other decision makers who
respond to incentives other than profit to guide their choices about
resource allocation decisions.
Technology and the Global Problem
Entrepreneur Solvers
The interplay of entrepreneurs and technology affects all our lives.

Entrepreneurs put new technologies to work every day, changing the way
factors of production are used. Farmers and factory workers, engineers
and electricians, technicians and teachers all work differently than they did
just a few years ago, using new technologies introduced by entrepreneurs.
The music you enjoy, the books you read, the athletic equipment with
which you play are produced differently than they were five years ago. The
book you are reading was written and manufactured using technologies
that did not exist ten years ago. We can dispute whether all the changes
have made our lives better. What we cannot dispute is that they have made
our lives different.
